About

In a recent cross-sectional study, it was shown that people with a good observed upper limb (UL) motor function but low perceived UL activity show a reduced daily-life UL activity. The investigators will now investigate the feasibility of a phone-monitored home exercise and feedback program for the UL following stroke and the preliminary effects on the perceived UL activity and actual daily-life UL activity for participants with good observed UL motor function but low perceived UL activity in the chronic phase post-stroke.

Enrollment: 19 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

1. Voluntary written informed consent of the participant has been obtained prior to any screening procedures
2. First-ever unilateral, supratentorial stroke, as defined by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association
3. Minimum six months after stroke
4. Living in the community
5. ≥18 years old
6. Good observed UL motor function but low perceived UL activity. Good observed UL motor function is defined as a score >50/66 on the Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremity (FMA-UE). Low perceived UL activity is defined as a score ≤75/100 on the hand subscale of the Stroke Impact Scale version 3.0 (SIS-Hand).

Exclusion criteria

1. Other neurological condition than stroke
2. Musculoskeletal disorder that affects UL use
3. No informed consent
4. Participation in an interventional Study with an investigational medicinal product (IMP) or device
